I have not had the balls to weather test any of my newer campy BUT I can back up the latter remark about phil wood BB's. There's a reason I have one on my daily commuter mated to SG75's which sees rain and daily lock ups with zero necessary maintenance on my end except/post loctite application to cups for some 1000+ miles and counting day in and day out.
